The plan for the naval reserve seems
TO be taking shape that will meet with
the favorable consideration of Congress
The first part of il relates to reserve
list of steam craft in the merchant marine
and pleasure fleets that would be OF
special use in time of war In some
cases the exceptional speed of steam
yachts might make them desirable as
dispatch or torpedo boats, while some
merchant steamers could easily be
strengthened and supplied with six-inct
rifed guns so as to serve as cruisers.
The other part of the plan takes in the
great number OF sailors of the merchant
marine, yachtsmen, fishermen, and oys
termen, who are skilled in seamanshiI
and can be formed into a reserve corps
to be drilled at certain periods of the
year, and paid certain rate for services
and held subject to call for certain
duty.

DECEMBER G
MEETING or CONGRESS.

We reviewed several days ago the out
look for Congressional action, and the
political significance in the presidential
election. of harmony Ia the Democratic
majority in the House, the Senate being
in such a situation that its action might
be locked with a ,ie-yOte on any question.
The general belief last night was, as
shown in the tenor of the newspaper
comments, that the Presidents message
would take a strong hold on the House
10 institute a system Of reform OF the
tariff and reduction of taxation, and that
the Democratic leaders showed no Oh
sircperous objections.
Or in other words, If 1t is understood
that the recent New York event decided
the position in favor OF Mr. Cleveland
for 1888, that the leaders in the House
may accept that situation and all agree to
back the Presidents plan. 1t Is not ne
cessary that this plan should be all in

the personal schemes OF certain big
leaders AID can be partially carried out,

and will command the support Of the

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.

According to 'hc first dispatches from
Washington yesterday, which the TINES
posted on the bulletin for the benefit OF
the deeply -interested public, II was con
cluded that there had been such victory
for the State that the coupon crusher'
would be left in full force and the
creditors crushed.
That anything could happen to force
final settlement OF the debt with the con-
sent of both parties with fair credit to
the State was a source of general reJoic-
ing. But the later dispatches explained
fha. the creditors had been beaten al
another point, but not finally, a. the
court did not touch the constitutionality
OF the coupon crusher, but only decided
that a States officers could not be sued
under the pretense Of treating the ON
GERS Of the State as individuals
As We pointed out several days ago,
when we were not able TO foresee what
the court would do, the point upon which
the creditors have made the fight against
the State remains as long as the constitu-
tionality Of the coupon crusher is cues
toned and any way left the creditors TO
bring it before the United States Supreme
Court.
As We understand II the principle
laid down in PDtndenter VS.. Gf6enhotc
remains in force, and the people who
may be sued under the coupon crusher
and have executions levied against them
may sue the officers who levy the e1ecu-
ton for damages
Or, ia other words, the opportunity
for the bondholders TO continue their
fight remains, while that OF the state 10
oppose 1t is bettered.
We wish there were some comfort In
this fort State, and that all The policy OF
force and threat or talk OF Federal courts
could be taken out Of the question and a
fair issue Of right brought before the PEG
ple of Virginia with the idea that we have
urged for the last year TO re establish The
credit of the State and draw 10 her the
capital and enterprise that she needs
But there are enough politicians lent on
reputation to use the advantage gained
by the State to try to force the Riddleber-
ger bill OF a still lower figure.
In that case the disastrous fight goes
on. and all over the United States Viz
ginia incurs the odium Of reputation.
We have only to add that patriotic
citizens ought To take stand against
mere politics that involve the State in
such difficulty, and encourage senti-
ment for settling the debt on fair terms.
The creditors have declared that they
will not accept the RiddlebeIger bill,
and we have not the slightest idea that
they can be made 10 do it. The Supreme
Court decision OF yesterday merely means
that there will be long contest instead
of a short one. 1t IL TO the interest of
the State to offer compromise instead
of continuing a political contest on q
business question The sooner it is done
the better for Us, or We will grayitate 10
an issue inside the Democratic party

party would be divided in the presi-
